Correct option is A

Option (a) 351624 is the correct sequence to form a logically connected and coherent paragraph.
✅ Explanation of Sequence:
Let’s break it down sentence by sentence:
· 3. Dodo, the size of a goose, securely inhabited the island of Mauritius.
· ➤ Opening idea – introduces the dodo and its natural habitat.
· 5. This bird had lost its power of flight since there were no enemies in the island to fly from.
· ➤ Follows logically – explains why the dodo didn’t need to fly.
· 1. And, since there were no enemies, it nested on the ground in complete safety.
· ➤ Continues the explanation – further supports the idea of dodo’s safety.
· 6. Then man discovered the dodos’ paradise in around 1507 and with him came his familiars - dogs, cats, pigs, goats and rats.
· ➤ A turning point – introduces the threat that came with humans.
· 2. The goats ate the undergrowth which provided the dodo with cover; dogs and cats hunted and troubled the old bird.
· ➤ Details how the newcomers affected the dodo’s survival.
· 4. The pigs and rats were not far behind who devoured the eggs and young ones, finishing off the feast.
· ➤ A logical conclusion to the destruction caused by human arrival.
�� Key Points for Rearrangement:
· Chronological flow: Natural habitat → Evolution (no predators) → Human arrival → Consequences
· Cause-effect links: No enemies → Ground nesting → Man arrives → Predators ruin habitat → Extinction pressures
